Visiting Hours

Visitors are good medicine for patients, so family and friends are encouraged to visit. However, because patient care is our primary concern, visiting hours are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the ICU and from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. elsewhere. After visiting hours, guests may enter only through designated hospital entrances.

General Visiting Regulations:

Smoking (including e-cigarettes) is prohibited everywhere on the Baylor campus, including sidewalks and parking areas.

People with colds, sore throats or any potentially contagious diseases should not visit patients.​

Length of visits will be determined by the patient's condition.

For the benefit of the patient's healing, visits may be limited.

Visitors should maintain a quiet environment.

Visitors may be asked to leave the room during procedures.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. A patient's nurse determines if children may visit depending on the patient's condition.​​
